made

Here is a paper knife I have just made for Mrs G. The photo's do it no favours, it looks loads better in the flesh so to speak.

Also made a few of these kits up for orders

First attempt at something smaller on my new lathe rather than the Proxxon mini I had been using for this type of stuff, in case you can't guessed pocket penlight made with Acrylic. Regards Padster

hi all, i was thinking ( dangerous occupation for me ), i know there are some very nice pen kits available, but i feel somewhat of a cheat...as in, the kits are pre made, some blanks are pre made so all i do is make it all fit together, if you see what i mean...im probly not wording this very...

I have not been posting much work lately so I thought I would show what I have been up to. I will not be showing much about this after all this is a pen turning site mainly. As some of you also know before Christmas I treated myself to some nice new machines and now I have had time to play with...

So the big day will soon be with us. Fortunately I have made all the pens I needed to dish out as prezzies, 12 pens for 9 different people and that got me thinking, No doubt you have all made pens for all of your family and friends at Christmases gone by, and am curios to know do you give them...

My normal business is very quiet. My main customer is suffering so it affects me as well. So while I am a bit idle I got to making some stuff for a Xmas fair. I made a few plain finish bowls and decided to try something different. Got some Hampshire Sheen colours and waxes and have been trying...

Made these up for some orders today got to make 12 Apostles latter in the week

Done these as a surprise prezzie for Mrs G this Christmas. One is acrylic and the other is made from Padauk. Mrs G loves cats so I have made her a cat twist pen from some acrylic I had from Axminster. She is also suffering from arthritis in her hands that is getting progressively worse so I...

Finding me way around been a long time since I went on a forum made these few pens this morning

A long time colleague of mine plays in an Irish Band and has ‘inherited’ a Bodhran which he is determined to learn to play. He asked me to make him a tipper, sometimes called a beater, so he can have a go. This is the first attempt made from oak. If I’ve got the shape and size something like...

My friend visited me in Wales last weekend and we went to the Wales v New Zealand game. He's a Kiwi, and suffice to say he was happier with there result than I was. Whilst he was here we made this pen together, and we called it "The All Black". It's made from vintage black cellulose and has...
